This
locomotive is a 0-8-0t of Austrian origin. Now named Sir Drefaldwyn it
is currently stored out of service. I was told the loco is a little to
powerful for her chassis and is thus not the best locomotive in the fleet.

A little while ago Sir Drefaldwyn had her smokebox prepared for display at a Gala weekend. it is conveniently still labeled! The Nigel Day / Shaun McMahon Lempor type nozzle can clearly be seen on top of the blast pipe.
